Episode 10: DM Rolls — Behind the Screen vs. On the Table (and MORE!)
NEWSFLASH! Sometimes DMs fudge rolls. But should they? And if so, how much can a DM fudge before the rolls become meaningless? We discuss the idea of making every roll visible to the player and why most DMs still choose to keep some rolls hidden.
We also chat about what race/class would famous characters in fiction be! Is Batman an Inquisitor Rogue? A Way of Shadows Monk? An Artificer? WHO KNOWS?! We get to the bottom of it. Or try to.

Episode 9: Our Favorite Party Roles
Strikers! Tanks! Healers! Casters! So many choices when building a new character. What do you choose? We run through our favorite classes and party roles, bearing in mind that there are NO WRONG ANSWERS! It's all about preference. But if you've only ever played strikers, maybe this episode will convince you to try a caster for your next character. Who knows?

Episode 8: Creating Cool Combat Encounters
Combat is the meat and potatoes of D&D, and just like meat and potatoes, it can be bland if you don't add spice. The right combination of monsters can add flavor to an encounter, but there are tons of other ingredients you can toss into your battle stew. In this episode, we cover a few tasty tricks to enrich your combat experiences. (Sorry, I was hungry when I wrote this).
Also, we said we would mention in the show notes the name of the person who developed the West Marches style of campaign. It's Ben Robbins. At least, that is what I was able to dig up on Google.

Episode 7: Testing Maurice's New Character (Not a High Elf Fighter)
Last week, we built Maurice a new level 1 character, busting him out of the high elf fighter rut. Today, we test it in combat against some goblins! How will this new character fare against the GOBSLAUGHT?!

Episode 6: Making a New Character (for Maurice) - Part 2
Maurice has basically only ever played High Elves and 90% of them are fighters. We bust him out of this rut, first by selecting a race (in episode 5), and then choosing a class (this episode).
